Ejército: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que "Ejército", con mayúscula, se refiere al cuerpo, y "ejército", en minúscula, a sus miembros. [...] Tal como explica el diccionario académico, la voz "ejército" solo se escribe con mayúscula cuando se refiere al conjunto de fuerzas aéreas o terrestres de una nación. Se trata de un caso de mayúscula institucional, por lo que es independiente de que este sea su nombre real o de que vaya en plural [...] Los adjetivos que pueda llevar para especificar el país van en minúscula ("Ejército danés"), pero los nombres que designan las ramas van con mayúsculas ("Ejército de Tierra", "Ejército del Aire", "Ejércitos de Aire, Mar y Tierra"). Sin embargo, cuando alude a un conjunto de militares, es decir, como equivalente de patrulla, tropa, pelotón[,] va en minúscula. 2, record 1, Spanish, - Ej%C3%A9rcito%20de%20Tierra%20canadiense

[In] the 1970s, NATO's Allied Command Europe (ACE) was concerned that the Soviets might employ smaller conventional operations against their northern and southern flanks. As a result, ACE Mobile Force (Land) and ACE Mobile Force (Air) were formed.
